For each scenario described below, state whether or not the binomial distribution is a reasonable model for the random variable and why. State any assumptions you make. a. A production process produces thousands of temperature transducers. Let X denote the number of nonconforming transducers in a sample of size 30 selected at random from the process. b. From a batch of 50 temperature transducers, a sample of size 30 is selected without replacement. Let X denote the number of nonconforming transducers in the sample. c. Let X denote the number of accidents that occur along the federal highways in Arizona during a one-month period.

Let be a normally-distributed random variable with mean u= 100 and variance 2 = 16: Select which statement is true. P(94 < X< 106) = 0.68 approximately. P(92 < X< 108) = 0.68 approximately. P(86 < X<114) = 0.68 approximately. none of these P(96 < X< 104) = 0.68 approximately.
Let x be a random variable that represents hemoglobin count (HC) in grams per 100 milliliters of whole blood. Then x has a distribution that is approximately normal, with population mean of about 14 for healthy adult women. Suppose that a female patient has taken 10 laboratory blood tests during the past year. The HC data sent to the patient's doctor are as follows. 14 17 16 18 15 12 14 17 17 11 (i) Use a calculator with sample mean and standard deviation keys to find x and s. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) x = s = (ii) Does this information indicate that the population average HC for this patient is higher than 14? Use α = 0.01. (a) What is the level of significance? State the null and alternate hypotheses. a: μ = 14; H1: μ < 14 b: μ = 14; H1: μ ≠ 14 c: μ > 14; H1: μ = 14 d: μ < 14; H1: μ = 14 e: μ = 14; H1: μ > 14 (b) What sampling distribution will you use? Explain the rationale for your choice of sampling distribution. The standard normal, since we assume…
The dean of a university estimates that the mean number of classroom hours per week for full-time faculty is 11.0. As a member of the student council, you want to test this claim. A random sample of the number of classroom hours for eight full-time faculty for one week is shown in the table below. At a=0.10, can you reject the dean's claim? Complete parts (a) through (d) below. Assume the population is normally distributed. 10.4 8.2 8.8 12.6 13.1 6.1 9.90 11.3 (a) Write the claim mathematically and identify Ho and Ha Which of the following correctly states Ho and H₂? Ο Α. Ho: με 11.0 H₂>11.0 O D. Ho: 11.0 H: ≤11.0 A O A. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value is greater than the significance level. OB. Reject H, because the P-value is greater than the significance level. OC. Reject Ho because the P-value is less than the significance level. OD. Fail to reject Ho because the P-value is less than the significance level. (d) Interpret the decision in the context of the original claim. O A.…
Let a be a random variable representing the percentage of protein content for early bloom alfalfa hay. The average percentage protein content of such early bloom alfalfa should be u = 17.2%. A farmer's co-op is thinking of buying a large amount of baled hay but suspects that the hay is from a later summer cutting with lower protein content. A small amount of hay was removed from each bale of a random sample of 50 bales. The average protein content from the samples was determined by a local agricultural college to be -15.8% with a sample standard deviation of S = 5.3%- At a = .05, does this hay have lower average protein content than the early bloom alfalfa?
